I would like to know any opinion on adding a "nice" field in the nntpd configuration file. Ex.: usenet.rpi.edu xfer no nice=-1 itnsg1.cineca.it xfer no nice=0 next1.unimi.it read post nice=+5 For my site this can be usefull. I can make this changes if other people like them. -- Marco Negri Phone : +39-2-7575242 Universita` di Milano Fax : +39-2-76110556 Dip.
